Past-setting, as in somewhere before what we are doing now. (World Turns, Hero's Path are both current. Everything else is the past, even though we're writing them now)

I've been avoiding team setup questions as I'm not so good at them myself. (As in, I'm 0-2 on gym battles) Also, if you post it here, we all know what strategy you're running and can counter it. For example, I'm not going to tell you I'm running a ____________ with __________ and a ___________ item.

I just need type suggestions. Should I go with a steel team, a ground team, or a grass team? It was my mistake to put strategies on there. I didn't mean to.

Well, that's more up to you. I went witht he elctric type because I looked at my signature and noticed that in my two teams built of Pokemon I like, I have four electric types. Does that help you any?

All possible types not taken:
Normal
Grass
Ground
Bug
Steel

Got any favorites?

I particularly like steel and grass, steel cuz I have a strategy that kicks arse (super trollin), and a cool nickname, or grass, cuz of diversity, and a certain trollsnake that kicks arse with contrary... I don't believe it's legal yet, though...

Sadly, no, I've been wanting a Contrary Surpeior as well. Sounds like A) You need a Ferrothorn, and B) I need to get a bigger book of matches. Also, a lot of moves that are a hinderence, like Overheat. Mwahahaha!!!

If you are challenging my gym, I'm best available from 7:30pm - 8:45pm on weekdays EST. Weekends are questionable.
Pass phrase: Piiiiiikafett!
The Syringe Badge: Good news is, it actually DOES look like a syringe! Bad news, The running gag is now dead.

Nobody got what I meant by that? I'll give you a hint. It's a pokemon. Penguin... Pokemon... Anybody?

*sigh*... Anyways, I think what I'll do is make a grass and steel team, and see which is better. Two questions...

1. Are certain legendaries, like the regi trio, the muskateer trio, etc., allowed?

2. Are the pokemon supposed to be lv. 50 or 100?

I left, but I'm not sure what you want to do with a Delibird off the top of my head, I'll have to hit up Bulbapedia.

Duh, forgot about ol' trident face.

1) In general, a few of the side-show legendaries are allowed, but I can tell you right off that the majority of us have in place a "No Legendaries" clause in our own gyms. One allows only the Dogs and Birds though.

2)All matches are held via Flat rules. If the PKMN are above level 50, they will temporarily be de-leveled, all those under I'm not sure of, but remember that the EVs and IVs collected naturally through training will be under those that have been de-leveled.

THANK YOU! I was surprised the niumber of people on here who never played the Orre games

Now now, I wouldn't jump to conclusions. I still want to know what you're doing, afterall, but I' gonna go out on a limb and say you're looking at a past-set timeline?

Ya know what? I will make a past-set fic. This will be before the events of any other fic in the NCTH. I will probably have the first chapter up today or tomorrow. I need to know if anybody wants their characters in my fic. If so, pm me character details. Thanks!

Thank you for answering the questions, Glover.

Ya velcome. One more question, will you be wanting to do anything makor with the Orre region, sinc eit is one of your favs, so that I can leave room for you?

Also, I feel obligated to point out that the P in the "You are Pikachu" looks like the Harry Potter logo...

If you meant major instead of makor, then quite possibly yes, since it one of my favorite regions, and Phoenix was originally going to be from Orre.

And I believe you mean Gateon port instead of Geaton harbor in the where you are from....

Please note this:

When I upload chapter 1, if you say it is kinda short, then my apologies. It is just an introductory chapter. It is purposely short.

No problem. And orignally, yes, Gateon Harbor was a typo, however I plan to retcon that, because the PKMN Lab is a bit further out from Gateon, and Glover's house is to be on the other side of the Lab Ranch (being originally his property for aquisition reasons that was then deeded to the Lab when it was recognized as an entitiy), so Gateon Harbor will become correct, being a suburb of Gateon Port and still on the inlet, but not a direct part of the port.

I'm considering adding a clause banning OHKO moves on a league-wide basis. Am I overstepping myself here, or does that seem fair? I don't think many people here even use those kinds of moves, but in case it comes up... the accuracy is terrible, and it's not fun for anyone. So, thoughts?

I don't use "uber" Pokemon (because they're banned), I don't calculate stat values (the simulator does it for me), I don't use cheating devices (because I hardly ever play the actual game), I don't breed my way to perfection (because I use a simulator), and I do care about natures. I battle the most efficient way, so I can use my strategic skills to the fullest. I don't look down on others because of the way they play Pokemon, which non-competitive people seem to actually do more often. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

The first chapter of The Rise of the Phoenix, Introduction, is up. Read it, and tell me what you think, guys and gals. Seeing as it is the first chapter (my introductory chapter, more or less), there is more dialogue than action, so pardon me for that.

Also, I've gone and done it: Prologue/Chapter 1 to Tempest, complete with a list of where it falls in the NCTH canon as well as my own, is now up. Please rip it to pieces, as this is additional rehearsal for World Turns

Hey guys, I posted an ending chapter to Friends of Draco and the first chapter of Draco's Quest. Some members of the league are mentioned, so you might want to give it a once-over.

"Trainer: We would like to invite you to try your hand at a new kind of challenge. The League of Heroes is a league of world-class battlers, with its own set of leaders and elite four members. If you are interested, please mail your invitation to the location listed below with your RSVP and we will send you a map with the locations of our gyms.
Yours truly, the Elite Four of the NCTH
Tower of the Ancients, Unova"

If you challenge our league and are lucky enough to get to me, you have a shot at winning the Mountain Heights Symbol. Credit to Northern Lights for the badge.
